I mean that's what I was saying earlier. I don't think people realize that the FGC, at least at its roots, is made up of poorer people who aren't well versed in upper white middle class PC speech. Now it's mainstream and they know they can't say this shit, but finding old tweets is going to be easy. Like I said earlier, I won't drop names, but non-black pros from the PNW area definitely used the n-word many, many times. It was extremely common. There was literally an Asian player there whose handle in tournaments had the n-word in it, and the white TO would say it when he called his matches. This was 3 years ago. I doubt much has changed since then.

Yipes was on mic dropping n-bombs at EVO only a few years ago (specifically calling both JWong and Filipino Champ the n-word at points). It's really going to be a mess if they get strict on this.

They didnt even hard R, that shits not racist. Theyre using slang. Big whoop I know none of the black players in PNW had an issue with it or at least made it known, but the way things have changed now makes it so you can't just context this stuff away. I think that's why they had to go after old tweets. Even people who grew up in lower class neighborhoods around minorities are expected to follow the upper middle white class morality dictations now. It's really a mess too, because obviously many black people do think it's wrong in any context, but the driving force here is the corporations involved in the FGC now, and specifically EVO, which are after the money of that white upper middle class. It's something the FGC, and specifically the black members (who make up a disproportionate mount compared to other competitive gaming communities) need to figure out for themselves and change at a cultural level. If you've never been to a local, you should go check one out. It's very much not like the culture surrounding other "esports". --- Favorite Games: BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Bayonetta, Bloodborne thats a username you habe - chuckyhacksss ...

I grew up around the word n****. (No, not from suburban white people. From people you wouldn't think twice about hearing it from.) I can understand how it would just sound natural to somebody of any race if they grew up in a culture where it's normal. That being said I would feel awkward and phony if I tried to incorporate into my own vocabulary, but I'm not going to get my tampon stuck if somebody whose background I am unfamiliar with uses the word. Unless they're clearly trying to put on a false persona, then I'd just think they were pitiful and at least a little racist.

I specifically say the FGC is nothing like most eSports because it is of a lower class background. It's not a coincidence it has highest percentage of non-white players of any professional video-game. Go to a local sometime. Recent years has been massive gentrification of the FGC for the sake of "eSports".

Anyway my comment was a response to the implication that the reason using the n word is frowned upon is because of some imposition from outside class interests or whatever. I just looked at a random list and the top ranked players all had normal middle class lives and were in good colleges with lucrative degree or had been in good colleges and already had lucrative degrees.

That's from a 2018 East Coast tournament gathering of veteran MvC2 players. This is what the FGC was like before the rich found out there was money to be made. If you honestly think the FGC was anything like any of those "eSports" for upper-middle class white people you never took part in it. There is just no way you went to tournaments and came out thinking "this is for rich white people". If you went to a CS or League tournament you are excused for thinking so, because yes most of these people in the FGC couldn't afford a gaming PC setup. And also if you went to tournament and didn't hear the n-word being used freely, you didn't go to an FGC tournament. Maybe you got lost and went to a Smash only event or something. I haven't been to one in 3 years, but I went to hundreds of tournaments and never didn't hear the n-word being thrown around. --- Favorite Games: BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Bayonetta, Bloodborne thats a username you habe - chuckyhacksss ...
